Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials: A Review

Abstract

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential is a recent tool to assess the sacullocollic pathway. The sacullocollic pathway includes the saccule, the vestibular nuclei and the medial vestibulo spinal tract. In the literature the studies done on vestibular evoked myogenic potentials have used different recording protocols. Various databases such as Medline, Pubmed, Google and Google scholar were searched for the references related to the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. The different recording procedures from the literature have been summarized in the present article.
